Return to Player Space - Juul

There are reasons for Nintendo Wii to become success. The reason is that they require physical movements during playing the games. For example, Wii Tennis require player to actually swing the remote controller, and Guitar hero also is very similar to Wii. This makes mimetic interface games a lot easier to learn than hardcore games, where focus on creating the world on 3-D space. Moreover, these mimetic interface games allow players to imagine that they are actually in the game. The Wii game has high compatibility because the movements of the player and the movement of the player-character are quite similar. Mimetic games are very easy to learn because player does not actually know how to play a certain sport in order to the game. Moreover, they are drawn upon familiar conventions from outside video games. Thus, the mimetic games are open to variety of age group of people. Players of these games do not have to be neither expert sports players nor guitarists.

Wii is a successful mimetic game console that allow everyone to learn and play the game without any difficulties. Also, they focus on the player space in which the game is played, and focus on the existing social relations in that space.
